JEN RUBIN: One entitlement down, one to go: CLASS goes kaput. “Democrats insisted that not only was this problem sustainable but that it was going to make money and thereby offset the cost of the rest of Obamacare. This was ludicrous, and the administration finally came clean on Friday. . . . CBO said that CLASS was going to save us money, CBO worshipers told us. Well, never was the phrase ‘garbage in, garbage out’ so appropriate. . . . To say that this is an embarrassment for the gang in the White House and the Democratic congressional leadership, who we already knew could not shoot straight, would be a gross understatement. The failure of CLASS, predicted by conservatives, sprang from the Democrats’ insistence to pass some ‘historic’ health-care bill, any such bill, and deal with the consequences later. Well, later is now.”
